Assertive+Discipline

=Assertive Discipline =

 This frame work developed by Lee and Marleen Canter 1970's is seen as assertion of teacher control.

The plan has 3 distinct sectors; Rules, Positive Recognition and Consequences. 

CATCH STUDENTS BEHAVING WELL - Lee Canter  According to the Canter's it is as simple as:

 Having rules which: 

Are expectations at all times Have limited number (of rules) Are observable Apply at all times Deal with BEHAVIOUR only (Also involve the students in the process of creating them)

 Positive Recognition which: 

Encourages appropriate behaviour Increases self esteem Establishes positive relationships Involves praise, notes, stickers, rewards, special privileges, etc.

 and Consequences that: 

Are calm and quick Are appropriate for students Students do not enjoy Involve a low to high consequence system Include a severe clause (high level consequence)

|| Negatives ||  Some examples for teacher reference:
 * Positives
 * * This technique is clearly set out for teachers and easily understood by students
 * Can allow for student choices || * Can cause students to see having chances as a challenge
 * <span style="color: #007aff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Can be more time consuming in terms of consequences compared to positive recognition
 * <span style="color: #007aff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Students can become dependent on the teacher for advice on how to act ||
